Sketch #48 - 25th April - Sponsored by The Craft Barn

Many thanks to you all for your continued support and participation in our challenges :)
We're on week #48 already!! can you believe how quickly those weeks have flown by? it will soon be our first birthday (saturday 30th May) and we will have some extra little surprises for you, but they are only available to you, our challengers, to say thank you for joining in each week.
But we'll let you know more about that nearer the time ;)



It's the last Saturday of April, so that means that our challenge this week is being sponsored by our fabulous regular sponsor, The Craft Barn.

And if you live local to Lingfield, Surrey, UK - why not go visit them today?

"Demo - Saturday 25th April Carol Cockbain and Dreamweaver Stencils.
For this week's demo, Carol will be with us for the day showing you how to get the most from the Dreamweaver Stencils. The new crackle paste is lovely and knowing Carol we are bound to have a bit of glitter and glimmer mist as well as some colouring techniques! So if you are just starting out or want to brush up on the latest techniques pop down and see her."

This is the wonderful prize that you could win this week! (I do love them both but Pa Iggly is fab!, don't you think?)

These 2 great new releases are from their Kadoodle range, their own range of unmounted rubber stamps.
The first image is called 'Huggles', the second is 'Pa Iggly'


Here is this weeks sketch, #48...
